Do not mistake virtual memory for resident memory. Aligning stuff in
the address space is not a problem, it does _not_ consume any memory
(even less if the library is not even used).

Here are the suckers, not pidgin. Do not have a look at virtual
numbers, as the name says these are virtual. Have a look at the %MEM or
RES columns instead.
